Super Yacht Collision in South East Italy

A 41 meter super yacht titled m/y Blue Magic collided and then sank a seven meter fiberglass build sailing boat during its marina manoeuvring in Santa Marina di Leuca on the afternoon of July 23.  Thankfully the incident left none injured, but passers by where outraged on the coldness of one of the crew who just dropped the mast on the sinking craft without checking if anyone was hurt.  Some news sources are also claimed the sailing boat was in the spot to be scrapped.  Blue Magic seems to have hit some technical difficulty in gear engagement and in the instance kept on pushing forward hitting and sinking the small sailing craft on its bow.
M/y Blue Magic is a 1998 build Heesen 4700 as designed by Mulder and semi-produced from 1998 to 2009 in eight units.  Blue Magic was last refitted in 2017.
